“Lovestruck The Musical” brings body-switching fun to ABC Family

April 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Lovestruck: The Musical Sunday, April 21 ABC Family, 8pm ET Growing up in the shadow of a famous mother can be tough enough, but imagine trying to actually compete with your mother’s younger self as she tries to seduce your fiancé in order to prove he’s no good for you. That’s the premise of Lovestruck The Musical, ABC Family’s first foray into the genre, and it stars Sara Paxton (Aquamarine) as Mirabella, a dancer who can’t quite muster up the courage to tell her Broadway legend mother Harper (Jane Seymour) that she doesn’t want to follow in her footsteps. Instead, […]

Louis C.K.: Oh My God shows HBO audiences the comic’s more confident side

April 12, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Louis C.K.: Oh My God Saturday, April 13 HBO, 10pm ET/PT To say Louis C.K. has been on a roll is an understatement. The past few years have seen the once-journeyman comic strike it big with a series of highly successful standup specials and a series on FX that has become a bona fide TV revelation. But with the announcement that Louie won’t return until 2014, the best rabid Louis C.K. fans (I’ll unapologetically count myself in that number) have to look forward to is an entirely new hour of standup. Oh My God probably isn’t his best hour — […]

Veep Season 2 returns April 14 on HBO

April 12, 2013 Tom Comi

It’s said that the second term for a politician tends to run much smoother than the first, and that can only bode well for the already popular show Veep — which returns Sunday at 10pm ET for a second season on HBO. Political shows have been a tough sell to viewers since The West Wing dominated the ratings many years ago, as witnessed by the canceled USA series Political Animals and the now-struggling NBC sitcom 1600 Penn. Veep, however, hit all the right buttons in its initial campaign for a number of reasons. First, it cast the brilliant Julia Louis-Dreyfus, […]

Legit finale date, time, TV channel, preview and more!

April 8, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Legit: “Fatherhood” Thursday, April 11 10:30pm ET, FX. Hey, remember way back in the Legit pilot when Jim hired that prostitute to take Billy’s virginity? Well, as funny/wrong/weirdly inspirational as that episode was, it has set up an even stranger season finale. In “Fatherhood,” Wendy the prostitute returns, pregnant with Billy’s baby. It’s safe to say that when Kate Luyben signed on to play Wendy, it wasn’t a role she was ever expecting to reprise. But life is funny sometimes, and not only is she back playing Wendy, she’s also now Legit star Jim Jefferies’ real-life girlfriend and the mother of […]

Who Gets the Last Laugh?: Donald Faison hosts TBS hidden-camera comedy

April 4, 2013 Ryan Berenz

Punk’d co-creators Jason Goldberg and Ashton Kutcher are pulling hidden-camera pranks again, this time with Who Gets the Last Laugh? premiering Tuesday, April 16, at 10pm ET on TBS. But don’t think of it as merely Punk’d 2.0. It’s more like Punk’d Vs. “We’ve taken Punk’d and we’ve flipped it upside on its head, and we’ve turned it into something that’s familiar but different,” says Last Laugh host Donald Faison (The Exes, Scrubs). “Celebrity friends were pranking each other, and that’s all Punk’d was, and that was intriguing. Now it’s your favorite comedians going out into the streets and just […]

Fashion Police 03-29-13 recap

April 1, 2013 Laura Chaloupek

It’s the last week of Fash Fabness on Fashion Police. And frankly I’m glad to have it over with. Ugh. But — tonight we have Johnny Weir as a guest!!! So that almost makes up for the lame theme because I love him so, so much. Alyssa Milano is subbing for Giuliana this week. Must-See Looks of the Week: 5. Jessica Paré from Mad Men wearing a really loud hot pink and blue dress. 4. Katy Perry at the Kid’s Choice Awards wearing a bra top and a skirt. She looks the same as she always does. Next. 3. Emilia […]

“Baby Daddy”: ABC Family picks up comedy for 3rd season

March 22, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Baby Daddy returns for its second season Wednesday, May 29, at 8:30pm ET/PT. Well well, Melissa Peterman sure wasn’t kidding. I interviewed the actress this week about her upcoming gig as host of ABC Family’s Dancing Fools, and we talked a little bit about her day job on another ABC Family show, Baby Daddy. She was just finishing up the likable comedy’s second season and mentioned how “things are looking good” for a possible third-season pickup. Seemed a bit premature maybe, but lo and behold, the network announced today it had green-lit Season 3 of Baby Daddy — not a […]

VOD Spotlight: “This is 40” director Judd Apatow made his film a family affair

March 22, 2013 Meredith Ennis

This Is 40 picks up where 2007’s Knocked Up left off, though it focuses on secondary characters from the first film. Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann, who is director Judd Apatow’s wife) are now a comfortably married couple, and parents to two daughters (played by the director’s children), 8-year-old Charlotte (Iris Apatow) and 13-year-old Sadie (Maude Apatow). Both girls also appeared in Knocked Up. Whereas some people would prefer to keep their family life and work life separate, Apatow says of casting his family members, “I love them and like to see them every day. They are […]

March 17, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Inside Amy Schumer premieres at 10:30pm ET April 30 on Comedy Central. She is also currently on a standup tour to promote the show. What’s it like to talk to a dominatrix? What would “porn for women” really look like? Do pretty girls get stuff for free? These were just some of the questions rolling around Amy Schumer’s head when she was putting together her new show for Comedy Central. Inside Amy Schumer is a unique mix of sketch comedy, standup performance, man-on-the-street segments and interviews with everyday people who have jobs — dominatrix, cop, bathroom attendant, stripper — that […]

Channing Tatum and Rebel Wilson in new 2013 MTV Movie Awards promo

March 11, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

MTV released this new promo for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards featuring host Rebel Wilson and nominee Channing Tatum. The funny clip puts Rebel Wilson and Channing Tatum into the middle of a scene that appears to parody action films of the sort that Channing Tatum will be starring in himself in a few weeks when G.I. Joe: Retaliation hits theaters on March 28. As Rebel wields a rocket, her partner Channing pilots a dangerous drive in a race against the enemy as they gear up for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
